Far better than I expected. This beer as a great palate. It is very thick and heavy. There is significant smoke in the aroma, and malt in the flavor with roast beef. Almost black, with a thick head. A great dunkel. Draught.

Dark ruby, creamy tanned head, lace. Roasted, slightly caramelly and skunked hoppy aroma. Roasted, oaky malts. Toffee flavors with grassy hops. Oily, slightly bitter aftertaste. Quite sweet for a dunkel, maybe more vienna-like.

Deep red-brown, medium creamy off-white head. Sweet cerealy aroma of the unfermented malt syrup type, also quite similar to a bowl of Wheat Chex with sugar. There are malt sodas at import stores that smell exactly like this, too. The flavor is much thinner, again with the sweet cereal grain composition, finishing thin and a bit tart. Not too bad, but the promise of the aroma was not met by the flavor.

Malzig? Kaum. Hopfig? Kaum. Würzig? Absolut nicht. Ich habe das Gefühl, ich trinke etwas völlig anderes als meine Vortester. Leicht hopfig im Antrunk, ansonsten sehr wässrig. Ein Märzen hat anders zu schmecken, Gösser muss sich mal ein Beispiel an Zipfer nehmen! Ich werde dieses Bier mit Sicherheit nicht mehr kaufen. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,10,6,10,8 - 7,95 --- Beer aliased from original tick of Beer on 17 Jun 2011 at 05:50 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 2 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4. Original review text: Mich hat dieses Bier nicht überzeugt. Leider hatte ich in der Trinksituation keine Notizmöglichkeiten, deshalb in aller Kürze aus dem Gedächnis: Irgendwie nicht "bierig" im Mittelteil, einwenig zu bitter. Absolut nicht süffig.

Nice little green bottle, quite similar to the export one. The two kinds were next to each other, and I picked this one up by "accident". Nice colour really, but the taste was a bit off-putting, sweet in a bad way (plums/raisins maybe). Seems a bit unbalanced. Rerate: Well, guess I was a bit mistaken last time, better this time, but still not that special. No trace of strange sweetness/fruity flavor from the last bottle. Burnt malts are dominant here, giving it a coffeish taste. Seems more robust now. +1 in flavor and overall impression.

(can) Aroma is sweet with a hint of apricot/peach. Large amount of head on pouring. Taste non-offensive. Sweetness does not come out much in the flavor and only a vague hint of malt and hops. Another mild Austrian brew that would taste good after a day of skiing but not when you want a good beer flavor

Typical lager color, small but steady white head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Well-balanced hoppied pils but nothing special. (5/3/5/2/10 2.5)
Re-rate, can (BB 07/2007). Pale yellow, small white head. Mild woody hoppy, a bit vegetably nose. Sweet malty, hints of grassy hoppyness somewhere. Standard low-quality bulk lager. (2/2/3/2/6 1.5)

Very active beer with little head, a light airy aroma and a watery melted ice like flavour. Overall a very weak beer but refreshing in hot weather.

Bottled. Pale golden. Lightly bready, thin and clean. The some grass and a vague trace of hops. Not really as awful as you'd expect the combintion of "Brau Union" and "Ice" to be.
